Great pictures. Looks like you all had a blast. Thanks for posting. We love Silver Lake sand dunes and cannot wait to drive our Rivian on it someday. I am also curious where you charged.

We had about five 50A camp sites at Hideaway campground that were shared to top up then most used their 30A plugs on their site to add another 10% or so over night. A few ventured to some chargers in Whitehall or Ludington that were putting out about 80Kw. A few even ventured up to the RAN destination chargers at the beach near Ludington. Wasn't ideal but we all made it work.

It turns out the Dometic tent inflates just fine with the pump I left at home :facepalm:. Next year! The generous loan of a (ground) tent was very much appreciated!!

I'm surprised the Dometic pump was that much more powerful than one used for an air mattress. Looking forward to seeing it all setup next year.

It was pretty quick too - very impressed. Left it up overnight and no apparent loss, so I'm sure there's no leak. Overall, I think this is a great value package. I'm going to try and talk my wife into some overnight trips to hit a few more distant mountain bike trails around the state so hopefully I'll know what I'm doing next year. I rode the Dragon Trail around Hardy Pond on the way home. Apparently Hardy Dam is the tallest earthen dam in the world (best Jeremy Clarkson voice in my head). It's on the Muskegon river and is a pretty big lake - not sure why they call it a pond. The Dragon is a 41 mile loop of pretty awesome flow trail. Some lovely swimming spots. 1 hour from Silver Lake dunes; a worthy stop if en route.
